Plan now to attend our annual Spring Social on March 31,
2012! All details are contained in this issue of the
Newsletter and we're looking forward to a very special
evening of recognizing key people and honoring our
AFISRA deployed personnel. Please post or e-mail your
intent to attend to either Bob Baert or me, so we can appropriately plan for this
event. We look forward to setting another new attendance record this year!

After serving in a variety of FTVA positions for over a decade (including 9
years as the Hall of Honor Chairman), Bob Sherwood submitted his "retirement
papers". Bob is an integral part of the Association, and has directed the Hall of
Honor program with unparalleled integrity. He is directly responsible for much
FTVA growth and success, and will be missed tremendously. The Board of
Directors subsequently named Bob as "Hall of Honor Director Emeritus" to
show our profound appreciation for his numerous contributions. We're pleased
to name CMSgt-Ret A.J. Harrison as Bob's successor, and look forward to
continued success with the Hall of Honor Program.

Lastly, I'd like to thank Rass and Wayne for their work with our Newsletter over
the past two years. They work hard to ensure each post, e-mail, and submitted
correspondence are reviewed and included, yet manage to edit, publish, and
disseminate the document on time, every time. Thanks again for your input and
participation â€“ it enables all of us to
